The face that launched a million whacks and the whacko that launched a thousand inappropriate sleepovers.
How awful for her, totally trumped in death. The New York Times had the photo of Michael above smeared all over the top of their online version while Farrah is a thumbnail the size of a postage stamp below.
Within the hour they replaced the red one with a younger one of Michael in white, arms raised against a backdrop of stormclouds. Way better choice.
Farrah had a valiant battle against death while Michael had always had a valiant struggle with life. He's poster child for what can happen when you're raised in the crushing repression of a fundamentalist household*.
The only one who comes out on the sunny side of all this is Governor Sanford; nobody cares about him or his mistress now. We'll be busy watching reruns of the infamous Farrah/Letterman interview and Michael's amazing Thriller video.
*Like me, Michael was raised Jehovah's Witness.
